Özet

The inkjet printing method provides experimental studies for printed electronics and patterned coating with

a rapid process, allows quick design changes and low amount of material consumption. It makes it possible to develop electrodes by jetting dispersions containing nanoparticles of conductive materials onto a substrate and then applying the sintering becomes conductive. In this study, it is aimed to develop low electrical

resistant and optical transparent electrodes on flexible substrates (Kapton and PEN) using ethylene glycol silver nanowire (AgNW) dispersion with inkjet printing technique. The effect of differences such as dispersion concentration, resolution, pattern, multilayer implementation were examined on the electrical sheet resistance and optical transmittance of the samples. The electrical sheet resistance of the electrodes was measured with four probe station and their optical transmittances were analyzed with UV-Vis

Spectrophotometer. While the optical transmittance of the electrodes is changing from 62% to 51.8% at wavelength of 600-700 nm, sheet resistance is in the order of kΩ to GΩ. Our results indicated that the obtained electrodes can be used in flexible solar cells and other flexible electro-optical devices.
